After a storming first week of Conference South football, this was a relatively subdued performance, almost mundane by games-won-in-the-88th minute standards. Main got the decisive strike but the Dons were ultimately indebted to winger Finn who scored a cracking opening goal, volleying in from outside the area in the middle of the first half, and then set up the winner.
Another win, more late goals but not too much evidence of the quality flowing football displayed by the Dons in their previous two victories. Wimbledon squandered a number of chances but you still would not necessarily have begrudged the visitors the point they seem destined for up till the 88th minute when Main scored.
We came hoping for a taste of the exotic foreign delights enjoyed by the travelling fans on Saturday but in the end those supporters choosing to join the season at its first home stop had to make do with an even more last gasp rerun of the Staines games, with victory secured with goals from Godfrey and Garrard.
Who goes, who stays, Brown decides. No official confirmation yet but the list of those that are not to be invited to stay on seems to be general knowledge now. The departure of Steve Ferguson has had some spitting out their black eyed peas but for the most part it's a predictable cull - Fergie, Quinn, DeBolla, Webb, Beckford, Beard, Salmon and Jolly.
Just under a year ago at the Meet the Manager night, Mr Terrence Brown informed us that he was not a particularly lucky manager when it came to play offs. Try telling that to the Staines fans after this Lazarus like victory. This morning while brushing he may well have dislodged the exact section of teeth skin by which we got through this tie.
